Scribblenauts is a 2008 puzzle platforming game for the Nintendo DS and the first game in the Scribblenauts series. You play as Maxwell, who has a magical notepad that can summon almost anything he writes into it, from zombies to thunder clouds. This notepad is the key gameplay mechanic the game revolves around. Maxwell's goal is to collect Starites, which are found by solving various puzzles and helping people out with his magical notepad.
hydrideGS in this movie gives a demonstration on how such a game with so many possibilities wasn't playtested as thoroughly by crashing it multiple times. Many of these crashes come from glitches that are simple to perform and are very possible to do accidentally.

There is author's commentary in the YouTube and downloadable encodes in the form of soft subtitles.

This time, SoapAgent and Samsara improve the previous TAS by 28.97 seconds, thanks to making use of the in-game level editor to place a Starite directly above Maxwell as well as better optimisation. Please read the authors' comments for more details.
